Off-the-Shelf Software, a Shoe Horn, and a BIG Hammer Or ...

 

All your company needs to implement off-the-shelf software packages is the software itself, a shoe horn to squeeze your company into the software developer's definition of a company, and a great big hammer to both help the shoe horn and to help convince your departmental managers to conform to the software.

 

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

 

Shouldn't the software fit the way you do business instead?

 

There are a lot of great software packages out there. Companies have spent years developing their packages and making them flexible enough to fit many different types of business. Unfortunately, few companies have evolved along the same path as the software, so many find that they do not fit that packaged software well enough.

 

We develop solutions. We develop software that:

 

• helps you to better utilize your existing package(s)
• integrates several packages together
• consolidates data entry, or
• replaces existing software with a completely customized solution.

 

We also recognize the often paralyzing impact of modifying packaged software. When we make modifications to packaged software, we make every effort to keep our modifications outside of that package. This approach makes it much easier to accept software upgrades.

 

Custom Application Development

 

To compete effectively in the 21st Century, businesses require information on demand. Whether you would like to modify purchased software applications or develop an entirely customized solution to your business need, it is our mission to create customized business critical solutions that address your requirements and are easy-to-use, flexible, and scalable to grow along with your business.

 

Everyone has heard horror stories about software development projects that have failed miserably at great cost. A Standish Group research study shows that nearly 69% of software projects fail due to poor planning and poor buy-in. Every project that we undertake is professionally managed and developed through a proven, structured process designed to minimize those specific risk factors.

 

Custom development is neither quick nor cheap. You don't want to do it over because it was poorly handled. We team with your people to make sure that it is your requirements being addressed and that everyone knows what we are doing and participates in the process.
